Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
Hi, I've just upgraded my Linux to Kubuntu 9.10 (i386). I'm using KVM and virt-manager on it. Unfortunately my VM boxes became corrupted after I install new software on these or create some files. Here is the VM definition: $ virsh dumpxml ubuntu Connecting to uri: qemu:///system <domain type='kvm' id='27'> <name>ubuntu</name> <uuid>00000000-0000-4000-0000-111111111111</uuid> <memory>524288</memory> <currentMemory>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='i686' machine='pc-0.11'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='/dev/mapper/vm-ubuntu'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <source file='/home/tomnowak/Desktop/Software/linux/ubuntu/ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> </disk> <interface type='network'> <mac address='00:50:56:11:11:11'/> <source network='default'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='e1000'/> </interface> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5911' autoport='no' listen='127.0.0.1'/> <video> <model type='vga' vram='8192' heads='1'/> </video> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='apparmor'> <label>libvirt-00000000-0000-4000-0000-111111111111</label> <imagelabel>libvirt-00000000-0000-4000-0000-111111111111</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server Edition 9.10 but after a few reset there is a problem with swap partition on the screen while booting: >>> One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted: (ESC for recovery shell) swap: waiting for UUID=903d9649-0587-45b1-a501-8c02d71f43fc <<< Then when trying to recreate swap on /dev/sda5 I get: >>> r...@ubuntu:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000dd054 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 1243 9984366 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1244 1305 498015 5 Extended /dev/sda5 1244 1305 497983+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris r...@ubuntu:~# swapon -a swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=903d9649-0587-45b1-a501-8c02d71f43fc r...@ubuntu:~# swapon /dev/sda5 swapon: /dev/sda5: read swap header failed: Invalid argument r...@ubuntu:~# mkswap /dev/sda5 Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 497976 KiB no label, UUID=38153005-9024-4eee-b1b9-99c3b0cfee62 r...@ubuntu:~# swapon /dev/sda5 swapon: /dev/sda5: read swap header failed: Invalid argument <<<< Later I tried to install some software: # apt-get install azureus and during the package installation I saw strange characters on the screen and everything stopped working.
